About Me

I am currently a first-year Ph.D. student at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, working in the Visual Computing Lab (VC Lab), supervised by Prof. Lei Zhang. I obtained my M.S. degree in Signal Processing from Nanyang Technological University. During my master's, I interned at MMLab@NTU, where I worked with Prof. Chongyi Li. I then continued there as a Research Assistant, working closely with Prof. Chen Change Loy and Prof. Shangchen Zhou. Before this, I obtained my B.S. degree in Electronic Information Engineering from Tianjin University in 2022.

My current research mainly focuses on low-level vision. I am also broadly interested in computational photography and image editing.
